Question

How did tax exemptions for land reclamation programs affect the central government of japan?

Answer 1

Answer:

It was weakened and could not provide military protection.

Explanation:

Tax exemption is the exemption from tribute by law, performed by the federal entity competent to institute it. There is no realization of the tax entry, although the chargeable event occurs and consequently the tax obligation is established. Tax exemption can be a way of encouraging private investment in the development of areas of public interest.

During Japan's recovery, the existence of a tax exemption for land reclamation greatly weakened the country's central government as taxation was reduced, causing a major embezzlement in the public coffers.  As a result, the government could not maintain effective military protection as it had no resources to maintain the army.
